Interesting how people jump to conclusions.
These kinds of threads all run the same course. They start with, "I really love
XYZ." Then it's, "But it doesn't make my coffee in the morning for me." And
eventually it degrades into, "I'm a programmer but I really hate writing code,
why doesn't this tool do my job for me?"
Zend Framework is not the only choice available. If you like the others more,
use one of them.
If you need code that does something different, write it -- you are a
programmer, are you not? If you need to generate your database code
automatically, write code that does that for you. That is what programmers do:
they write code. If you cannot write the code yourself because you are not a
programmer, pay someone who is a programmer to solve your problem for you. If
you cannot write the code and you cannot pay to have it written, learn to use
flattery, because you are going to need it.

No. What they do is up to them. My comments are directly entirely at Zend
Framework and should not be taken to imply anything about any other framework.
What I don't want is for Zend Framework to start dictating which components I
use and how and when. Again, one of the chief selling points of Zend Framework
is that isn't "opinionated" in this sense.
I accept that Zend Framework may be slower off the mark for some tasks than
other frameworks because it is not opinionated. (Although how much slower
having done it once I really question.) The trade off is massive flexibility. I
can use the same components all over the place (and do).
All I can suggest is that you use it for a good period and then make your own
mind up.
